1 INTRODUCTIONSummary

1.1.1 This Statement of Reasons relates to the M54 to M6 Link Road Scheme(the Scheme) and has been submitted by Highways England (the Applicant)to the Planning Inspectorate (the Inspectorate) acting on behalf of theSecretary of State for Transport (Secretary of State).

1.1.2 It provides information in support of an application for a DevelopmentConsent Order (DCO) to permit and enable implementation of the Schememade under Section 37 of the Planning Act 2008 (as amended) (PA 2008).

The Scheme1.2.1 The Scheme involves the construction of a new link road between Junction

1 of the M54 and Junction 11 of the M6. The Scheme aims to reducecongestion on local / regional routes, particularly the A460 and A449 anddeliver improved transport links to encourage the development of thesurrounding area, providing social and economic benefits for the WestMidlands region.

1.2.2 The Scheme would provide a strategic link between the M54 Junction 1 andM6 Junction 11. From south to north the main components of the Schemeare:

· Replacement of the existing M54 Junction 1 with free flow slip roadsbetween the new link road and the M54. This would allow the freeflow oftraffic between the M54 and the new link road in both directions andmaintain connectivity with the existing local road network, via three newroundabouts.

· Construction of a new dual carriageway between M54 Junction 1 and theM6 Junction 11. The alignment of the carriageway would be located to theeast of the existing A460 and the villages of Featherstone, Hilton andShareshill, and west of Hilton Hall.

· Dark Lane would be stopped-up between the final property and thejunction with Hilton Lane.

· The realignment of Hilton Lane on a bridge over the mainline of theScheme. The bridge would be reconstructed on a similar alignment andwould provide sufficient clearance for the new road.

· Provision of an accommodation bridge and access track across themainline of the Scheme to retain access to severed land to the east of theScheme. The route of the new link road would then continue north to theeast of Brookfield Farm to link into the M6 Junction 11.



· Enlargement of the M6 Junction 11 signalised roundabout toaccommodate a connection to the new link road and realign existingconnections with the A460 and M6. Two replacement bridges would berequired over the M6 to provide an increase in capacity from two lanes tofour lanes of traffic on the roundabout. This work would raise the heightof the junction by approximately 1.5m.

1.2.3 The Scheme is defined as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project(NSIP) within sections 14(1)(h) and 22(1)(a) of the PA 2008 as amended bythe Highway and Railway (Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project Order2013). Under section 22 an NSIP must fall within one of the threecategories specified, which are expressly stated to be alternatives. ThisScheme is the ’construction’ of a highway within the meaning of Section22(1)(a).

1.2.4 The Scheme satisfies section 22(3) and Section 22(4) of the PA 2008because it is located wholly in England, Highways England (being astrategic highway authority) is the highway authority for the highway, thearea of development is greater than 12.5 hectares and the speed limit forany class of vehicle is expected to be 50 miles per hour or greater.

1.2.5 As the Scheme is an NSIP, development consent must be obtained fromthe Secretary of State, and an application for a DCO must be made to theSecretary of State, care of the Inspectorate, under section 37 of the PA2008.

1.2.6 The Scheme is an ‘EIA development’ and is of a type listed within Schedule2 Regulation 3(1) Part 10 (f) (construction of roads) of the InfrastructurePlanning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017 (hereinreferred to as ‘the EIA Regulations’), and it has the potential to generatesignificant environmental effects by virtue of its nature, scale and location.

1.2.7 In accordance with Regulation 8(1) (b) of the EIA Regulations, the Applicanthas notified the Secretary of State in a letter to the Planning Inspectorate(the Inspectorate) dated 11 January 2019 that an Environmental Statementpresenting the findings of the EIA will be submitted with the DCOapplication. The Inspectorate reviewed and consulted on the EIA ScopingReport and published a Scoping Opinion on 21 February 2019.

Compulsory acquisition1.3.1 In its DCO application for the Scheme, the Applicant seeks compulsory

acquisition of land, acquisition or the creation of rights, and temporarypossession powers in respect of certain land interests. These are requiredto carry out and maintain the Scheme. A detailed description of the extentand nature of the powers sought is set out by reference to the DCOapplication documents in Chapter 3 of this Statement.



Land interests1.4.1 The extent of the land interests affected by the compulsory acquisition and

temporary possession powers sought by the Applicant are described inChapter 4 of this Statement.

1.4.2 The Applicant has carried out diligent inquiry to identify all persons with aninterest in the ‘Land’ (the land shown on the Land Plans[TR010054/APP/2.2] and within the Order limits) and persons with apotential claim for compensation as a result of the Scheme. These personshave been consulted pursuant to sections 42 and 44 of the PA 2008.

1.4.3 The Applicant has entered into negotiations in relation to the acquisition ofland under the shadow of compulsory acquisition. These negotiations areongoing. It is therefore necessary to provide for the acquisition of the landinterests by compulsory acquisition should the on-going negotiations proveto be unsuccessful in order to enable the Scheme to be delivered. TheApplicant is satisfied that the acquisition of all of the land interests isnecessary to enable the Scheme to proceed.

1.4.4 The Applicant owns a number of plots within the Order limits which aresubject to the rights of others that are incompatible with the constructionand operation of the Scheme. In order to ensure that any such rights can beremoved (and the persons benefitting from them are compensated for suchremoval) the Applicant’s own land has been included within the Land towhich the compulsory powers sought will apply. The Applicant has takenthe approach (followed on other Highways England schemes and otherschemes consented under the PA 2008) of seeking powers of compulsorypurchase or (rights of use) in respect of all plots of land required for theScheme even where it already holds an interest or presumes it holds aninterest in the land. This approach has been taken to ensure that it has theright to acquire the interests it needs in all of the land and ensure that if anunknown or unregistered owner later asserts an interest in the land whichthe Applicant believes it owns, taking further steps to clear the title wouldnot be necessary.

The case for compulsory acquisition1.5.1 The Applicant is satisfied that the powers of compulsory acquisition and

temporary possession sought in the draft DCO are necessary, proportionateand justified. The Applicant is further satisfied that the powers sought are inaccordance with all relevant statutory provisions and associated guidance.

1.5.2 The Applicant is firmly of the view that there is a compelling case in thepublic interest for the compulsory acquisition and temporary possessionpowers sought as set out in Chapter 5 of this Statement.



Human rights1.6.1 In preparing the DCO Application, the Applicant has had regard to the

European Convention for Human Rights and the Human Rights Act 1998.Chapter 6 of this Statement considers how the Scheme complies with thislegislation notwithstanding any infringement of the private rights of thosewhose interests in the land may be affected by the exercise of powers ofcompulsory acquisition and temporary possession.

Special considerations1.7.1 In Chapter 7 of this Statement, the Applicant has identified all special

category land which is affected by the compulsory acquisition powerssought in the draft DCO. The Applicant has engaged with the relevantpersons responsible for the special category land and with a view toavoiding the need for special parliamentary procedure in accordance withthe relevant sections of the PA 2008. The Applicant has further consideredwhat other consents are required in order to enable the Scheme to proceedand set out how these will be secured; this detail is set out in the Consentsand Agreements Position Statement [TR010054/APP/3.3].

Compliance with statutory requirements and policy guidance1.8.1 This document has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of

Regulation 5(2)(h) of the Infrastructure Planning (Applications: PrescribedForms and Procedure) Regulations 2009 (as amended) (the APFPRegulations), and the ‘Planning Act 2008: Guidance related to proceduresfor the compulsory acquisition of land’ (DCLG, September 2013) (the CAGuidance).

1.8.2 This Statement should be read alongside the other DCO applicationdocuments that relate to the compulsory acquisition powers sought by theApplicant, including:· Introduction to the Application [TR010054/APP/1.1].· Plans showing the extent over which it is proposed to exercise compulsory

powers (the Land Plans) [TR010054/APP/2.2].· Crown Land Plans [TR010054/APP/2.3].· Works Plans [TR010054/APP/2.4].

· Special Category Land Plans [TR010054/APP/2.6].· The draft DCO [TR010054/APP/3.1].

· Explanatory Memorandum to the draft DCO [TR010054/APP/3.2].· A statement to explain how the Scheme will be funded (the Funding

Statement) [TR010054/APP/4.2].



· a Book of Reference (BoR) containing details of the land subject tocompulsory acquisition powers, including names and addresses of allknown parties that may have an interest in the land and be affected by theproposed powers [TR010054/APP/4.3].

· Case for the Scheme [TR010054/APP/7.2].· Consents and Agreements Position Statement [TR010054/APP/3.3].

· Streets, Rights of Way and Access Plans [TR010054/APP/2.7]

Flexibility1.9.1 Due to the nature of the design process and the timing of the consenting

process, the Applicant requires a degree of flexibility as to where certainelements of the Scheme can be constructed within defined limits ofdeviation, which are provided for in the draft DCO and shown on the WorksPlans [TR010054/APP/2.4]. At this stage, all the land included in the Orderlimits is considered to be necessary to enable the delivery of the Scheme.However, should it transpire that any part of the land within the Order Limitsis not required, for instance as a result of the detailed design process in duecourse or because a parcel of land has been acquired by agreement as aresult of successful negotiation, in those circumstances powers ofcompulsory acquisition (or temporary possession) would not be exercised inrespect of such land because such exercise would not be necessary orjustified.



2 THE SCHEMEDescription of the Scheme

2.1.1 A short Scheme description is provided in Section 1.2 of this Statement.The Scheme design has been developed through an iterative process,informed by the environmental assessment. The development of theScheme design has been informed by knowledge of environmentalconstraints, the environmental assessment of emerging design proposalsand engagement with stakeholders (including the responses receivedduring statutory consultation).

2.1.2 The General Arrangement Plans [TR010054/APP/2.5] illustrate thepreliminary design of the Scheme and identify its key components andfeatures. The Engineering Section Drawings [TR010054/APP/2.10] inrespect of the Scheme present further Scheme design information.

2.1.3 A full description of the Scheme is presented in Chapter 2 of theEnvironmental Statement [TR010054/APP/6.1].

Need for and benefits of the Scheme2.2.1 The M54 to M6 Link Road is a scheme identified in the government’s Road

Investment Strategy 2015-2020 (RIS1). Highways England’s delivery planprioritises development of the Scheme to provide a new link roadconnecting the M54 and M6, which will improve journey time reliability andreduce high levels of congestion in the area.

2.2.2 The M54 provides the strategic link connecting the west of the country andurban areas such as Telford with the M6 South. The M6 is a main link forstrategic traffic in the West Midlands heading north and south connectingBirmingham and the West Midlands with Stoke-on-Trent and the NorthWest.

2.2.3 The M54 eastbound merges into the M6 southbound at Junction 10a. Thereis no direct motorway link from the M54 to the M6 northbound or the M6Toll. There is also no motorway link between the M6 southbound and theM54 westbound. Traffic wishing to make these movements leaves themotorway network and uses the primary road network including the A449,A5 and A460.

2.2.4 The signed route between the M54 West and the A5 East is via two trunkroads: the A449: which is a dual carriageway that is subject to the nationalspeed limit, and the A5 that is subject to a 50-mph speed limit travellingbetween M54 Junction 2 and M6 Junction 12.



2.2.5 The A460 Cannock Road between the M54 and the M6 has one roadmarked lane in each direction with numerous junctions and accesses and astretch of road with a 30-mph speed limit from the M54 Junction 1 toapproximately 170 m north of its junction with New Road / Dark Lane. Ithas eight minor roads and numerous private accesses joining it betweenthe M54 and the M6, requiring six ‘give-way’ priority junctions and one trafficsignalled crossroads. These junctions provide access to Featherstone,Shareshill, Hilton, Little Saredon, Hilton Hall. Other isolated premises haveaccesses onto the A460. These priority junctions and accesses mean thatright turning traffic is required to cross on-coming traffic to exit and enter thejunctions. The A460 was not designed for the amount and type of trafficcurrently using it, resulting in delays. The volume of traffic cases noise andair pollution for properties along the route, severs communities and reducesattractiveness for walkers and cyclists.

2.2.6 The existing road network is not adequate to cope with the high volumes oftraffic, often consisting of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). There is a need toprovide a link road to provide for the high east-west trip demands that arebeing met by an existing highway network that can only provide low levelsof service. Investment in additional capacity will support local economicgrowth for Telford, Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, Cannock and Tamworthby improving traffic flow and enhanced east-west and north-south routes.

Benefits2.3.1 The primary objectives of the Scheme are to:

1. Relieve traffic congestion on the A460, A449 and A5, this will providemore reliable journey times.2. Keep the right traffic on the right roads and improve safety byseparating local community traffic from long distance and businesstraffic.3. Reduce volumes of through-traffic in villages, improving localcommunity access.4. Support local economic growth for Telford, Shrewsbury,Wolverhampton, Cannock and Tamworth by improving traffic flow andenhancing access to east-west and north-south routes.

The authorised works2.4.1 A full description of the works, referred to in the DCO as "the authorised

development" is set out in Schedule 1 of the draft DCO[TR010054/APP/3.1] and shown on the Works Plans [TR010054/APP/2.4]and the General Arrangements Drawings [TR010054/APP/2.5].

4 LAND INTERESTSThe extent of the land subject to compulsory acquisition powers

4.1.1 The full extent of the Land subject to powers of compulsory acquisition andrequired in order to enable the Applicant to construct the Scheme asdescribed in Chapter 2 of this Statement is shown on the Land Plans[TR010054/APP/2.2]. It is further described in the BoR[TR010054/APP/4.3] and in other documentation forming part of the DCOapplication.

4.1.2 The total land within the DCO limits comprises approximately 197 hectares.Of this, approximately 170 hectares will be acquired permanently, 26hectares will be subject to temporary possession and 1 hectare will besubject to temporary possession with acquisition of permanent rights.

4.1.3 The purpose for which each plot of land is required is set out in Annex A ofthis Statement.

Location4.2.1 The Scheme would be located between the national and regional routes of

the M54, M6 and A460 to the north of Wolverhampton. The majority of theScheme is within the administrative boundaries of Staffordshire CountyCouncil and South Staffordshire Council, with a small amount of signage tothe west of the Scheme being within the City of Wolverhampton Councilarea. The land within the DCO limits includes the M54 Junction 1 and 2 withthe intervening link and an area of mixed agricultural land and scatteredwoodland between the M54, A460 and M6. The location of the site is shownin Figure 4.1 below.



Figure 4.1 The Scheme Location4.2.2 The nearest residential areas include the villages of Shareshill and the

hamlet of Little Saredon to the north-west with Featherstone to the west.Essington is located south of the scheme beyond the M54 and Cheslyn Hayto the east beyond the M6. There are also a number of more isolatedresidential properties and farm holdings in the vicinity of the Scheme.

4.2.3 Hilton Hall along with a number of outbuildings and features are designatedas Grade I and Grade II listed buildings and are located east of theScheme. A number of areas of ancient woodland are located within or inclose proximity to the Order limits. The nearest residential properties to theproposed scheme comprise the individual dwellings and farmsteads locatedalong Hilton Lane and in the area around Hilton Hall. The residentialproperties in Featherstone located along Dark Lane and Park Roadcomprise the nearest suburb to the Scheme.

Existing Land Use4.3.1 This section presents a summary of the main land uses, features and

environmental designations in and around the Scheme. A more detaileddescription of the setting of the Scheme is presented in Chapter 4 in theCase for the Scheme [TR010054/APP/7.2].



4.3.2 The Scheme corridor includes (from south to north) the M54 Junctions 2and 1 and the intervening link, which is located in an urban setting. Theroute of the scheme continues in a north easterly direction passing througha rural area, mostly comprising fields. The Scheme continues in a northerlydirection before joining the M6 Junction 11.

4.3.3 The Scheme is located in the Green Belt and crosses a Historic LandscapeArea designated under South Staffordshire Council’s Core Strategy PolicyEQ4. The Scheme passes through the Lower Pool Site of BiologicalImportance and the Brookfield Farm Site of Biological Importance. TheOrder limits include a sliver of land allocated as the Hilton Cross StrategicEmployment Site under SSC Core Strategy Policy CP1 and EV1, located tothe south-west of M54 Junction 1. The Scheme also passes through aMineral Safeguarding Area for Sand and Gravel and part of a MineralSafeguarding Area for Brick Clay.

Utility diversions4.4.1 Extensive statutory undertaker utility diversion and protection works would

be required, particularly in the area around Junction 1 of the M54 andJunction 11 of the M6. These are shown on the Works Plans[TR010054/APP/2.4] and are described in Schedule 1 of the draft DCO[TR010054/APP/3.1]. The Land Plans [TR010054/APP/2.2] also detail theland required to undertake these works; the Applicant, having made surethat there is sufficient land being taken to achieve these diversions.

Identifying persons with an interest in the land4.5.1 Section 42(1) (d) of the PA 2008 states that the Applicant must consult each

person who is within one or more of the categories set out in section 44 ofthat Act. This includes any owner, lessee, tenant or occupier, any personinterested in the land or has power to sell, convey or release the land andany person entitled to make a relevant claim (as defined by section 44(6) ofthe PA 2008).

4.5.2 In preparing the DCO application, the Applicant has carried out diligentinquiry in order to identify all persons who fall within the categories set outin section 44 of the PA 2008 for the Scheme. Such persons are listed in theBoR [TR010054/APP/4.3] and have been consulted about the DCOapplication in accordance with section 42 of the PA 2008 and as describedbelow. Further information on the statutory public consultation delivered forthe Scheme is contained in the Consultation Report [TR010054/APP/5.1].

4.5.3 Diligent inquiry to identify affected landowners, those with interests in land,and those with a potentially relevant claim was undertaken by theApplicant’s land referencing supplier. The categories of persons identified,and the methods used to identify the persons with an interest in the land aresummarised below.



4.5.4 Land referencing has been undertaken at various times throughout the pre-application period to ensure that any changes in ownership or new interestshave been identified, consulted and subject to engagement.

4.5.5 The categories of persons that require to be identified for the purposes ofconsultation under section 42 are prescribed in section 44 of the PA 2008as Categories 1, 2 and 3. Under the PA 2008, diligent inquiry must beundertaken to identify persons who, by virtue of the nature of the interestthey have in land, and the location of that land in relation to the land towhich the application relates, come within Categories 1, 2 or 3.

Category 1 and 2 persons4.6.1 Category 1 comprises owners, lessees, tenants (whatever the tenancy

period) and occupiers of the Land.4.6.2 Category 2 comprises persons that are interested in the land or have the

power to sell and convey, or to release, the Land.

Category 3 persons4.7.1 Category 3, as prescribed by section 44 of the PA 2008, comprises persons

who the Applicant thinks would or might be entitled to make a “relevantclaim” for compensation, if the order sought by the application were to bemade and fully implemented. A “relevant claim” is defined in PA 2008 asmeaning a claim under Section 10 of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965(CPA 1965), or under Part 1 of the Land Compensation Act 1973 (LCA1973), or under section 152(3) of the PA 2008.

Assessment of Category 3 persons4.8.1 Identification of Category 3 persons, as defined in section 44 of the PA

2008, was undertaken at the early stages of development of the Scheme, inorder to inform the design of the Scheme and preparation of the DCOapplication.

4.8.2 In order to identify potential Category 3 persons who may have a claimpursuant to section 10 of the CPA 1965, a desk-based assessment wascarried out to identify properties with a potential claim. In addition, site visitswere used in order to assess properties that may not have been identifiablefrom desk-based assessment.

4.8.3 In assessing potential claimants under Part I of the LCA 1973, physicalfactors and the impact of the Scheme were considered, including:· properties within the Order limits; and

· properties identified as a receptor as a consequence of the property beinglocated outside the Order limits but close to the highway.



4.8.4 The Applicant’s land referencing team and the Scheme’s District Valuerwere provided with relevant information from environmental specialistsundertaking the environmental impact assessment for the Scheme. Thisinformation identified the likely significant effects arising from the Scheme.For example, the noise assessments had regard to information available atthat time regarding:

· existing noise levels;· projected noise levels from the Scheme; and

· distances to and impacts on receptors.4.8.5 Based on the above information, professional judgement was applied by the

Scheme’s Valuer (from the Valuation Office Agency/VOA) to determinewhether a person may have a relevant claim for compensation undersection 57(4) of the PA 2008. Further details about the noise assessmentsand other environmental assessments undertaken can be found in theEnvironmental Statement [TR010054/APP/6.1].

Diligent inquiry process4.9.1 An index map search of the proposed Order limits was undertaken on 1st

February 2019. Ongoing Land Registry searches have been undertaken toensure that any changes in title were identified. The official copies of therelevant Registered Titles and Plans have been examined to identify all landinterests.

4.9.2 On completion of the above initial desk-based exercise, the extent ofunregistered land interests became known. In order to establish ownershipof unregistered land that falls within the proposed land requirements, publicsources of information were used, including the Planning Portal, CompaniesHouse website, the relevant records held by Statutory Undertakers,Electoral Registers and online resources. A land charges search was alsocarried out.

4.9.3 Following the initial non-contact methods above, persons identified ashaving an interest in the Land or a potential claim were issued with a letter,a Land Interest Questionnaire (LIQ) requesting return of information abouttheir interests in the Land, and an accompanying land ownership plan. Thiswas then followed by additional ‘follow up’ letters and site notices wereerected on unregistered land.



Consulting with Section 42(1)d Consultees4.10.1 On the 23rd May 2019, the Applicant sent all section 42(1)(d) consultees a

letter to inform them that the statutory consultation for the Scheme wouldcommence on 24th May 2019. Three different types of letter were issued tothe consultees depending on their category of interest and any previouscommunication the Applicant had had with them. “Letter 1” was sent toCategory 1 and 2 persons who had already been sent a LIQ, “Letter 2” wassent to Category 1 and 2 persons who had not yet been sent a LIQ andfinally “Letter 3” was sent to all Category 3 parties. Copies of these letterscan be seen in Annex I of the Consultation Report [TR010054/APP/5.1].

4.10.2 Included with these letters were:

· A consultation brochure;· A consultation response form;

· Land Interest Plan(s) - An extract of the draft Land Plans showing onlytheir land within the RLB and the current land take proposals;

· A plan showing the extents of the proposed Scheme, referred to as the“red line boundary plan”;

· Land Interest Schedule;

· LIQ – Issued to those parties who had not yet received them;

· Land Interest Questionnaire Plan - A plan showing what land in the areaof the proposed Scheme the recipients of the letter have an interest in,including that lying outside but adjacent to the red line boundary.

4.10.3 The letter provided an overview of the Scheme, explaining that the Schemewould be a NSIP and that the party was being formally consulted under therequirements of section 42(1)(d) of the PA 2008, as they had an interest inland that may be affected by the application. The letters asked therecipients of the letter to comment on the proposed Scheme with a deadlinefor responses being the 5th July 2019.

4.10.4 Any LIQs or section 42 consultation letters that were returned unopened(returned to sender) were logged and a process of diligent inquiry wasundertaken to determine if any alternative methods of contacting theperson/business could be identified. This included desktop research (suchas Companies House records, Land Registry information, internetsearches), and site visits, in addition to obtaining information directly fromparties attending formal consultation events. In these circumstances it waseither confirmed that the details of the consultee had changed, or the partyno longer held an interest the Land or were no longer considered aninterested party.



4.10.5 Three further consultation processes were undertaken in November andDecember 2019, these processes are described below.

1. Non-statutory consultation on five minor changes to the draft Orderlimits that had occurred since the consultation period in May to July2019. The consultation period ran from 11th November until 11th

December 2019. Further details on this process are provided inChapter 6 of the Consultation Report [TR010054/APP/5.1]).

2. Non-statutory consultation with all landowners who had previouslybeen consulted on the Scheme on revised areas proposed fortemporary or permanent acquisition. The consultation period ran from11th November until 11th December 2019. The process involved issuingupdated letters and accompanying plans to twenty-one Category 1persons and nineteen Category 2 persons. The letter informed therecipients about how to engage in the DCO process and how to providecomments on the proposals. The letter also provided contact detailsfor the Applicant in the event that the recipients had any questions onthe proposals).

3. Statutory consultation with eight Category 1 and seven Category 2parties who had been identified through the diligent enquiry process asnew land interests or existing land interests being consulted on newparcels of their land. The consultation period ran from 21st Novemberuntil 20th December).

4.10.6 A Land Registry refresh to check that on land had changed ownership wascarried out on the 6th of January 2020 and confirmed that no new personshad acquired an interest in the Land.

Negotiations to acquire by agreement4.11.1 As well as consulting all persons with an interest in the Land about the

Scheme in accordance with section 42 of the PA 2008, the Applicant isaware of the requirement (paragraph 25 of the CA Guidance) to seek toacquire land by negotiation wherever practicable. The power to acquireland compulsorily should only be sought if attempts to acquire byagreement fail.

4.11.2 At the same time, the Applicant notes that the CA Guidance recognises thatwhere proposals would entail the compulsory acquisition of many separateplots of land, it may not always be practicable to acquire each plot of landby negotiated agreement. As the CA Guidance states, "Where this is thecase, it is reasonable to include provision authorising compulsoryacquisition covering all the land required at the outset." Paragraph 25further acknowledges that this is appropriate for linear scheme like this one,because it is necessary to acquire a large number of plots and it may not bepossible to acquire all of them by agreement.



4.11.3 The Applicant is under a legal duty to acquire land at best value and soacquisition by agreement is unlikely to occur in all cases or in any eventwithin sufficient time to ensure that the programme for the construction ofthe Scheme is met. The Applicant has accordingly included compulsorypowers in the draft DCO from the outset.

4.11.4 Land already owned by the Applicant has been included within the draftDCO. This is to ensure that any known or unknown third-party rights thatexist over such land do not impede the construction and implementation ofthe Scheme.

4.11.5 The Applicant has engaged with all landowners and occupiers with a viewto acquiring their land interest by agreement by writing to them to informthem of the Applicant’s willingness to negotiate to acquire their land interestby agreement, and to invite dialogue on this point. As a result, the Applicantis engaged with a significant proportion of landowners with regard to theacquisition of land by agreement, and negotiations with this objective will beongoing throughout the DCO process. The status of such negotiations is setout in Annex B to this Statement.

4.11.6 Whilst negotiations are ongoing, the Applicant is mindful that it is under aduty to acquire land at best value and that it is required to deliver theScheme within a specified timescale. It has concluded that it may not bepossible to acquire all land interests necessary to deliver the Scheme withinthis timescale. The Applicant has therefore concluded that the Scheme isunlikely to be capable of being delivered without compulsory acquisitionpowers.



5 THE CASE FOR COMPULSORY ACQUISITION5.1.1 In seeking compulsory acquisition and temporary possession powers in the

draft DCO, the Applicant has had regard to the conditions in section 122 ofthe PA 2008 and to the tests set out in the CA Guidance.

The statutory conditions and CA Guidance5.2.1 Section 122 of the PA 2008 states that:

· "An order granting development consent may include provisionauthorising the compulsory acquisition of land only if the Secretary ofState is satisfied that the conditions in subsections (2) and (3) are met"

5.2.2 The conditions are:· In subsection (2), that the land is:

(a) required for the development to which the development consentrelates;

(b) required to facilitate or is incidental to that development; or(c) replacement land which is to be given in exchange for the order land

under sections 131 or 132 of the PA 2008; and· In subsection (3), that there is a compelling case in the public interest for

the land to be acquired compulsorily.5.2.3 The CA Guidance (paragraph 11) sets out the considerations which the

Secretary of State will take into account in deciding whether the condition insubsection (2) has been met. It states:· ‘In respect of whether the land is required for the development, the

Applicant should be able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of theSecretary of State that the land in question is needed for the development.The Secretary of State will need to be satisfied that the land to be acquiredis no more than is reasonably required for the purposes of thedevelopment.

· In respect of whether the land is required to facilitate or is incidental to theproposed development, the Secretary of State will need to be satisfiedthat the development could only be carried out to a satisfactory standardif the land in question were to be compulsorily acquired and that the landto be taken is no more than is reasonably necessary for that purpose andthat it is proportionate.

· In respect of whether the land is replacement land, the Secretary of Statewill need to be satisfied that the compulsory acquisition is needed forreplacement land, that no more land is being taken than is reasonablynecessary for that purpose and that it is proportionate.



5.2.4 In respect of the condition in subsection (3), the CA Guidance states atparagraphs 12 and 13 that the Secretary of State ‘will need to be persuadedthat there is compelling evidence that the public benefits that would bederived from the compulsory acquisition will outweigh the private loss thatwould be suffered by those whose land is to be acquired’.

5.2.5 Paragraphs 8 to 10 of the CA Guidance are also relevant, setting out anumber of general considerations to be taken into account by an applicantin seeking compulsory acquisition powers which include:· ‘That all reasonable alternatives to compulsory acquisition (including

modifications to the scheme) have been explored.

· That the proposed interference with the rights of those with an interest inthe land is for a legitimate purpose, and that it is necessary andproportionate.

· That the Applicant has a clear idea of how they intend to use the landwhich is to be acquired.

· That there is a reasonable prospect of the necessary funds for acquisitionbecoming available.

· That the purposes for which the compulsory acquisition powers areincluded in the application are legitimate and sufficiently justify interferingwith the human rights of those with an interest in the affected land.

5.2.6 Finally, paragraph 25 of the CA Guidance states that applicants shouldseek to acquire land by negotiation wherever practicable.

Need for the Land and the purposes for which the compulsoryacquisition powers are sought

5.3.1 The Applicant is satisfied that the condition in section 122(2) of the PA 2008is met. It considers that the Land subject to compulsory acquisition powersis either needed for the development, or is needed to facilitate thedevelopment, or is incidental to the development.

5.3.2 At Annex A of this Statement, the Applicant sets out compulsory powerssought in relation to each individual parcel of the Land, with reference to therelevant DCO works numbers, and the nature of the works as set out inSchedule 5 of the draft DCO. The proposed use of the Land is set out inChapter 2 and Annex A of this Statement.

5.3.3 The need for and justification of the compulsory acquisition of replacementland under sections 131 and 132 of the PA 2008 is considered in Chapter 7of this Statement.

5.3.4 The Applicant considers that the land included in the draft DCO is theminimum land-take required to construct, operate, maintain and mitigate theScheme necessary to achieve the objectives of the Scheme.



5.3.5 The limits of the Land have been drawn as tightly as possible so as to avoidunnecessary land take. In the event that less land proves to be required in aparticular area at a later stage, the Applicant would only seek to acquire thatpart of the Land that is required, and in all events will seek to minimiseeffects on landowners.

5.3.6 Land required for the Scheme, is to ensure compliance with design safetystandards, to ensure environmental mitigation measures can beimplemented, to deliver land and accommodate highway drainageinfrastructure.

5.3.7 The draft DCO provides that all land identified for permanent acquisition canbe occupied temporarily. If it is identified that less land can be acquiredpermanently, and only occupied temporarily, the Applicant will only acquireland permanently needed for the Scheme.

5.3.8 Temporary construction compounds and works areas have been identifiedto ensure the delivery of the project with minimum disruption tostakeholders and users of the existing Highway and supporting roadnetwork, whilst ensuring the temporary land acquisition is proportionate andonly that needed to undertake the works. Any areas of land that aretemporarily occupied will be restored to its original condition once the workhas been completed in that area unless otherwise agreed with the owner.All efforts will be made to avoid impacting ecological features in these areaswhilst they are temporarily occupied by the Scheme.

5.3.9 Provision has been made in the draft DCO application for the creation andacquisition of new rights to accommodate the diversion of statutoryundertakers’ apparatus over a number of plots (as identified in Schedule 5to the draft DCO [TR010054/APP/3.1]. Whilst these rights are shown asapplying to whole plots, following the completion of the detailed design bythe contractor and through engagement with the Statutory Undertakers, thefinal areas for these works will be in defined corridors.

5.3.10 The Applicant has been working closely with statutory bodies, stakeholdersincluding Natural England to agree the amount of environmental mitigationrequired for the scheme is reasonable and proportionate.

5.3.11 The Applicant has taken the cautious approach of seeking powers ofcompulsory acquisition (or rights of use) in respect of all plots of landrequired for the Scheme even where it already holds an interest, orpresumes it holds an interest, in the land. This approach has been taken toensure that it has the right to acquire the interests it needs in the whole ofthe DCO land even where an unidentified owner later asserts an interest inland which the Applicant believes it owns to ensure there are noimpediments to delivery.



Compelling case in the public interest5.4.1 The Applicant is satisfied that the condition in section 122(3) of the PA 2008

is met and that there is a compelling case in the public interest forcompulsory acquisition.

5.4.2 The need for and the benefits of the Scheme are set out in Chapter 2 of thisStatement and in the other application documents, including the Case forthe Scheme [TR010054/APP/7.2]. Together, the application documentsdemonstrate that there is a very strong and compelling case in the publicinterest for the Scheme to be delivered.

5.4.3 In particular, as set out at Chapter 8 of the Case for the Scheme, paragraph2.2 of the National Policy Statement for National Networks (NPSNN)identifies a "critical need" to improve the national networks to address roadcongestion to provide safe, expeditious and resilient networks that bettersupport social and economic activity; and to provide a transport networkthat is capable of stimulating and supporting economic growth. It goes on tostate that improvements may also be required to address the impact of thenational networks on quality of life and environmental factors.

5.4.4 The Scheme was identified in the National Infrastructure Delivery Plan 2013and subsequently in the Government’s Road Investment Strategy for the2015-2020 Period (RIS1) published in 2015.

5.4.5 The way in which the strategic objectives of the Scheme are aligned withthe NPSNN is set out in detail in Chapter 8 along with Appendix A of theCase for the Scheme [TR010054/APP/7.2]. The transport and economicbenefits of the Scheme are also set out in the Transport Assessment Report[TR010054/APP/7.4] and Chapters 5 and 6 of the Case for the Scheme[TR010054/APP/7.2]. This clearly demonstrates that there would besubstantial public benefits arising from the implementation of the Scheme.Paragraph 3.1 of the NPSNN states that the need for development of thenational networks, and the Governments policy for addressing that needmust be seen in the context of the Government’s wider policies oneconomic performance, environments, safety, technology, sustainabletransport and accessibility, as well as journey reliability and the experienceof road users.



5.4.6 The Scheme objectives directly support the Government’s wider strategicpolicy objectives whilst specifically addressing a significant problem of trafficcongestion on the strategic road network, providing additional capacity andfacilitating long-term development and growth. The Scheme also supportsthe Government’s recognised national commitments to improving thestrategic road network. It is the Applicant’s view that that the Scheme isconsistent with the core policies of the NPSNN and the statutoryrequirements of the PA 2008 have been addressed. As such, the Applicantconsiders that the presumption in favour of the development set out inParagraph 4.2 of the NPSNN should be afforded great weight as the publicbenefits of the Scheme outweigh any residual adverse effects, includingprivate loss, suffered by individual landowners and occupiers. On this basis,the Applicant considers that there is a clear and justified case in the publicinterest for the Scheme.

Consideration of alternatives5.5.1 In designing the Scheme and determining the land to be subject to

compulsory acquisition and temporary possession powers, the Applicanthas considered alternatives and modifications to the Scheme to minimisethe potential land take. These alternatives and modifications were consultedon and the preferred route has been chosen based on a thoroughconsideration of all of the relevant issues. This process and the descriptionof all of the alternatives that have been considered are described in detail inChapter 3: Assessment of Alternatives of the Environmental Statement[TR010054/APP/6.1], along with the Case for the Scheme[TR010054/APP/7.2] and Consultation Report [TR010054/APP/5.1].

5.5.2 Following public consultation, the Applicant selected the most appropriateoption. This selection took into account various factors, including, amongstothers, views of consultees including persons with an interest in the land.Other factors included environmental impacts, meeting the objectives of theScheme, affordability, value-for-money, safety and construction andoperational considerations. None of the alternatives or modificationsconsidered would obviate the need for the compulsory acquisition andtemporary possession of the land.

Reasonable prospect of funding5.6.1 The Applicant confirms that the scheme is fully funded by the Department

for Transport (DfT) and therefore the necessary funds for acquisition andcompensation are available for the reasons set out in the FundingStatement [TR010054/APP/4.2] which includes the estimated cost ofcompulsory acquisition of the land required for the scheme.



Acquisition by agreement5.7.1 The Applicant recognises that the authority to acquire land compulsorily

should only be granted if attempts to acquire by agreement fail. However,the Applicant notes that the CA Guidance recognises that, in some cases, itmay not always be practicable to acquire each plot of land by agreement.Where this is the case, the CA Guidance confirms that it is reasonable toinclude provision authorising compulsory acquisition covering all the landrequired at the outset. It also recognises that in some cases it may bepreferable, or necessary, to acquire land compulsorily rather than byagreement.

5.7.2 Set out in Chapter 4 and Annex B of this Statement is a summary of thediscussions the Applicant and its representatives have had with landownersand occupiers to acquire the Land by agreement. It is satisfied thatcompulsory acquisition and temporary possession powers are required toensure that the Scheme can be delivered in a reasonable timescale and inthe event that it does not prove possible to acquire all of the land byagreement.

Conclusions5.8.1 The Applicant is satisfied that the conditions in section 122 of PA 2008 are

met and that the tests in the CA Guidance are satisfied.5.8.2 All the land subject to compulsory acquisition and temporary possession

powers is necessary to construct, operate, maintain and mitigate theimpacts of the Scheme. The extent of the land sought is reasonable andproportionate to achieve the objectives of the Scheme.

5.8.3 Further there is a compelling case in the public interest to include thecompulsory acquisition powers sought by the Applicant in the draft DCO.The exercise of the compulsory acquisition powers that are sought is shownthroughout this Statement to be necessary and proportionate to the extentthat interference with private land and rights is required. In the absence ofcompulsory powers, the Applicant considers that it would not be possible toproceed with the Scheme, therefore the public benefits of the Schemewould not be realised.



6 HUMAN RIGHTSThe protected rights

6.1.1 The Human Rights Act 1998 incorporated into domestic law the provision ofthe European Convention on Human Rights ("ECHR"). The ECHR includesprovisions in the form of Articles, which aim to protect the rights of theindividual. The relevant Articles can be summarised as follows:

· Article 1 of The First Protocol – protects the rights to peaceful enjoymentof possessions. No one can be deprived of their possessions except inthe public interest.

· Article 6 – entitles those affected by compulsory powers to a fair and publichearing.

· Article 8 – protects the right of the individual to respect for their privateand family life, their home and correspondence. Interference with this rightcan be justified if it is in accordance with law and is necessary in theinterests of, among other things, national security, public safety or theeconomic wellbeing of the country.

6.1.2 Section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998 prohibits public authorities fromacting in a way which is incompatible with rights protected by the ECHR.

6.1.3 Paragraph 10 of the CA Guidance sets out how applicants should take intoaccount Human Rights:

· “The Secretary of State must ultimately be persuaded that the purposesfor which an order authorises the compulsory acquisition of land arelegitimate and are sufficient to justify interfering with the human rights ofthose with an interest in the land affected. In particular, regard must begiven to the provisions of Article 1 of the First Protocol to the EuropeanConvention on Human Rights and, in the case of acquisition of a dwelling,Article 8 of the Convention.”

6.1.4 The DCO, if made, may infringe the human rights of persons with aninterest in land. This infringement is authorised by law provided that:

· There is a compelling case in the public interest for the compulsoryacquisition powers included within the draft DCO, and that properprocedures are followed.

· Any interference with a human right is proportionate and otherwisejustified.

6.1.5 A detailed schedule of meetings and progress with each affected landowneris provided in Annex B to this document.



Compliance with the Convention6.2.1 The Applicant recognises that the Scheme may have an impact on

individuals but considers that the significant public benefits that will arisefrom the Scheme as set out in this Statement outweigh any harm to thoseindividuals. The draft DCO strikes a reasonable balance between the publicinterest in seeing the Scheme proceed (which is unlikely to happen in theabsence of the DCO) and the private rights which will be affected by thecompulsory acquisition.

6.2.2 In relation to both Article 1 and 8, the compelling case in the public interestfor the compulsory acquisition powers included within the draft DCO hasbeen demonstrated in Chapters 5 and in the Case for the Scheme[TR010054/APP/7.2]. The land over which compulsory acquisition powersare sought as set out in the draft DCO is the minimum necessary to ensurethe delivery of the Scheme. The Scheme has been designed to minimiseharm whilst achieving its publicly stated objectives. In this respect theinterference with human rights is both proportionate and justified.

6.2.3 In relation to Article 6, the Applicant is content that the proper procedureshave been followed for both the consultation on the Scheme and indetermining the compulsory acquisition powers included within the draftDCO. Throughout the development of the Scheme, the Applicant has givenpersons with an interest in the land a full opportunity to comment on theproposals, both in a statutory and non-statutory capacity, and the Applicanthas endeavoured to engage with landowners. The Applicant has had regardto landowner feedback in both the initial design of the Scheme and initerative design changes throughout the life of the Scheme.

6.2.4 Furthermore, any individuals affected by the DCO may submitrepresentations by way of an objection to the Application in response to:· any notice given under section 56 of the PA 2008,

· the examination of the application by the examining authority,

· any written representations procedure which the examining authoritydecides to hold and

· in particular, any compulsory acquisition hearing held under section 92 ofthe PA 2008, at which each affected person is entitled to make oralrepresentations about the compulsory acquisition request.

6.2.5 If the DCO is made, a person aggrieved may challenge the DCO by judicialreview in the High Court if they consider that the grounds for doing so aremade out pursuant to section 118 of PA 2008.



Equalities Impact Assessment6.3.1 The Applicant has carried out an Equalities Impact Assessment

[TR010054/APP/6.7] which has been submitted as part of this DCOapplication to ensure that scheme does not discriminate against anydisadvantaged or vulnerable people.

Fair compensation6.4.1 Any person affected by the exercise of compulsory acquisition powers or by

the exercise of temporary possession, may be entitled to compensation.This entitlement to compensation is provided for by the existingcompensation code as well as and Schedule 5 to the draft DCO. TheApplicant has the resources to pay such compensation and hasdemonstrated (in the Funding Statement [TR010054/APP/4.2] that theseresources are available.

6.4.2 Any dispute in respect of the compensation payable may be referred to theUpper Tribunal (Lands Chamber), an independent tribunal, fordetermination.

Conclusion6.5.1 For the reasons set out above, the Applicant considers that any

infringement of the ECHR rights of those whose interests in the land mightbe affected by the exercise of powers of compulsory acquisition would beproportionate and legitimate, would be in the public interest and would be inaccordance with national and European law. The Applicant thereforeconsiders that it would be appropriate and proportionate for the Secretary ofState to make the DCO including the grant of compulsory acquisitionpowers.



7 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONSCrown Land

7.1.1 Section 135 of the PA 2008 provides that a DCO may authorise, with theconsent of the appropriate Crown authority, the compulsory acquisition ofan interest held in Crown land which, for the time being, is held otherwisethan by or on behalf of the Crown.

7.1.2 The Applicant has made provision in the draft DCO for the acquisition ofthose land interests which are not held by the Crown, but which exist inCrown land and are comprised in plots as shown in Part 4 of the Book ofReference [TR010054/APP/4.3] and the Crown Land Plans[TR010054/APP/2.3]. The consent of the Department for Business, Energyand Industrial Strategy being the appropriate Crown authority in relation toCrown Land included in the Scheme, is required to authorise thecompulsory purchase of these land interests.

7.1.3 The Applicant has entered into discussions with the Department forBusiness, Energy and Industrial Strategy and the status of the same isdetailed in Annex B to this Statement. The Applicant has not yet been ableto secure the necessary consent from the Department for Business, Energyand Industrial Strategy to the compulsory acquisition but will continue toendeavour to secure it before the close of any examination held inconnection with the draft DCO.

Special Category land7.2.1 Special Category Land includes Land which is owned and held inalienably

by the National Trust.7.2.2 The Applicant’s approach to the inclusion of this special type of land in the

DCO limits is set out in the following paragraphs.

Special Category land – land owned by the National Trust7.3.1 The DCO, if made, would authorise the temporary possession of land held

by the National Trust inalienably (i.e. land held by them which they have nopower to dispose of) within plots shown in Table 7.1 and comprisingapproximately 2.5 hectares of land and listed, as shown in Part 5 of theBook of Reference [TR010054/APP/4.3] and the Special Category LandPlans [TR010054/APP/2.6].

7.3.2 The land identified in table 7.1 is required for the purpose of deliveringimprovements to the ancient woodland to increase its biodiversity value.The improvements are being sought at the request of Natural England. Thescope of works and the principle of use of powers for this purpose has beenagreed with the National Trust.

7.3.3 Section 130 of the PA 2008 applies to the compulsory acquisition of anyland belonging to the National Trust which is held by them inalienably. Itprovides that, if the National Trust makes a representation objecting to theDCO and does not withdraw that representation before completion of theExamination into the DCO, then the DCO will be subject to SpecialParliamentary Procedure (SPP).

7.3.4 The Applicant is in discussions with the National Trust with a view toentering into an agreement for the temporary use of their land and thereforeensuring either that a representation / objection is not submitted, or, that if itis submitted, its withdrawal can be secured. The Applicant has agreedheads of terms and expects that an agreement can be reached with theNational Trust that would remove the need for SPP. The status of thosediscussions is set out in Annex B to this Statement. An update will beprovided at the earliest opportunity and subsequently throughout theExamination to aid the Examining Authority’s consideration of this issue.

Statutory undertaker land7.4.1 Section 127(3) of the Act provides that a DCO may only authorise the

compulsory acquisition of statutory undertaker land where a representationhas been made by the statutory undertaker objecting to the acquisition if theSecretary of State is satisfied that:· The land can be purchased and not replaced without serious detriment to

the carrying on of the undertaking; or



· If purchased, the land can be replaced by other land belonging to, oravailable for acquisition by, the undertaker without serious detriment tothe carrying on of the undertaking.

7.4.2 Land owned by Severn Trent Water Limited is being permanently acquiredfor the purposes of the Scheme. However, this land is not required for theirundertaking, and the Applicant is satisfied that it would have no seriousdetriment to their undertaking.

7.4.3 The Applicant is satisfied that it does not need to use Section 127(5) of theAct as they are not looking to acquire any right in land which is owned bystatutory undertakers.

7.4.4 In addition, Section 138 of the PA 2008 applies if a DCO authorises theacquisition of land (compulsorily or by agreement) and:

· There subsists over the land a relevant right; or

· There is on, under or over the land relevant apparatus.7.4.5 For the purposes of Section 138 of the PA 2008:

· as defined by Section 138(2) of the PA 2008: ‘a relevant right’ means aright of way, or a right of laying down, erecting, continuing of maintainingapparatus on, under, or over land which is vested in or belongs tostatutory undertakers for the purpose of the carrying on of theirundertaking

· as defined by Section 138 (3) of the PA 2008 ‘relevant apparatus’ meansapparatus vested in or belonging to statutory undertakers for the purposeof the carrying on of their undertaking, or electronic communicationsapparatus kept installed for the purposes of an electroniccommunications code network.

7.4.6 A DCO may only include provision for the extinguishment of the relevantright, or the removal of the relevant apparatus, if the Secretary of State issatisfied that the extinguishment or removal is necessary for the purpose ofcarrying out the Scheme to which the DCO relates (Section 138 (4) of thePA 2008).

7.4.7 The draft DCO includes provision to authorise necessary interference by theApplicant with the apparatus of statutory undertakers, in connection with thedelivery of the Scheme.

7.4.8 The Applicant proposes to permanently acquire land with existingpermanent rights in favour of statutory undertakers as described in the Bookof Reference [TR010054/APP/4.3] and shown on the Land Plans[TR010054/APP/2.2] and set out in Annex C of this document.



7.4.9 The Scheme boundary contains the apparatus of Severn Trent Plc, CadentGas Limited, Western Power Distribution (West Midlands) Plc, OpenreachLimited, Virgin Media Limited, Vodaphone Limited, South StaffordshireWater Plc and Zayo Infrastructure (UK) Limited.

7.4.10 The relevant major utility diversions required for the Scheme aresummarised below and have been defined as specific works within thedevelopment listed within Schedule 1 of the draft DCO[TR010054/APP/3.1]. These works are also shown on the Works Plans[TR010054/APP/2.4].· Work No. 67 - the diversion of utilities and associated infrastructure

(including low pressure gas, electrical, BT and potable water) to a newutilities’ corridor to the west of M54 Junction 1 (approximately 130 metresin length).

· Work No. 68 - the diversion of a high-pressure gas main and associatedinfrastructure due to the construction of the M54 to M6 Link Road(approximately 1000 metres in length).

· Work No. 69 - the diversion of a water main, sewer, communications ductsand associated infrastructure due to the construction of the M54 to M6Link Road (approximately 500 metres in length).

· Work No. 70 - the diversion of an overhead electricity cable andassociated infrastructure due to the construction of the M54 to M6 LinkRoad (approximately 220 metres in length).

7.4.11 The Applicant is in discussions with all the statutory undertakers affected bythe Scheme as described in the BoR [TR010054/APP/4.3] and shown onthe Land Plans [TR010054/APP/2.2] and set out in Annex C of thisdocument.

7.4.12 The Applicant is seeking to address any issues that have been raised bythem to date and to reach an agreed position through negotiations.Protective Provisions for statutory undertakers have been included in thedraft DCO and have been issued to statutory undertakers to informnegotiations. As such, The Applicant expects to achieve an agreed andsatisfactory position with each of the statutory undertakers by the close ofthe Examination.

sets out the required other consents and the current position as to thestatus of securing those consents. This will continue to be updated asnecessary during the Examination. The Applicant is satisfied that allnecessary consents to enable the Scheme to proceed have been identifiedand that there is no reason why such consents should not be secured orgranted pursuant to the draft DCO.



8 CONCLUSIONSOverview

8.1.1 This Statement sets out why compulsory acquisition and temporarypossession powers have been sought in the draft DCO and explains whythe Applicant considers such powers to be necessary, proportionate, andjustified.

8.1.2 In determining the extent of the compulsory acquisition and temporarypossession powers proposed in the draft DCO, the Applicant has hadregard to the legislative tests set out in the PA 2008 and to the advice in theCA Guidance. The Applicant is content that the scope of the powers soughtand the extent of the interests in the Land to be acquired by compulsoryacquisition are required for the Scheme and are the minimum necessarythat will allow the Applicant to construct, operate and maintain the Scheme.The purpose for which each part of the Land is required is set out in AnnexA to this Statement.

8.1.3 The Applicant has consulted all persons affected by the compulsoryacquisition and temporary possession powers and persons who may have aclaim for compensation arising from the Scheme. It has consulted suchpersons during preparation of the DCO application and in the design of theScheme to address their concerns and to ensure that any impacts arereduced or removed. The Applicant has further sought to acquire anyinterests in the Land by agreement wherever practicable. The status ofnegotiations with affected landowners for the acquisition of their landinterest is set out in Annex B to this Statement.

8.1.4 The Applicant has considered the human rights of the individuals affectedby the compulsory acquisition and temporary possession powers. It issatisfied that there is a compelling public interest case for compulsoryacquisition and that the significant public benefits arising from the Schemewill outweigh the harm to those individuals.

8.1.5 Without the grant of compulsory acquisition and temporary possessionpowers, the Applicant considers that it will not be possible to construct theScheme, or realise the public benefits arising from it.
